Chapter 1: Escape from Death
The sunny days allowed the winter people to enjoy the long-lost sunshine, and even the birds and insects that were easily lost were active, and a bug crawling out of the soil looked around, but the little worm soon burrowed back into its warm nest. Its home is too close to the road, and a group of people in the distance makes the little bugs feel dangerous, so the clever bugs choose to hide back in their homes.
There were not many people on the road, looking at the black crowd from a distance, and when they got closer, they found that there were only a few dozen people. There has been a sudden increase in the number of passers-by in the past few days, all of whom have migrated to the southwest to escape the fighting, but this time the people who appeared on the road were wearing military uniforms, although their uniforms were already tattered and covered with stains and suspicious dark purple, but they were indeed a group of soldiers.
"Hey, I said that your kid is a gourd with a sawed mouth, and you won't squeak twice after walking this way." On one of the bullock carts in the crowd, a captain officer with a smile in his eye tapped the back of the thick man in front of him with a branch in his hand. The latter just walked with his head down while holding the reins of the buffalo, completely ignoring the harassment of the captain officer behind him, and even if he was annoyed by the knock, he only turned around and handed a roll of his eyes to express his indignation, but he did not spit out a word in his thick lips.
Liu Goat, who was despised by the morning glory, was not annoyed, but just smiled and turned around to change the wet cloth on his forehead for Tang Cheng, who was lying on his back on the ox cart with his eyes closed. The raft was overturned by the Lang flowers that rose after the explosion of the bombs dropped by the Japanese army, and all the Liu goats on the raft fell into the water.
Tang Cheng was originally a water-savvy person, but when he fell into the river, he still remembered to carry the flower mechanism, and he still had two shell guns and so many bullets hanging on his body, and these weights were enough to make Tang Cheng, who fell into a coma for the first time, sink to the bottom of the river. Fortunately, Jiujin has been by Tang Cheng's side, desperately trying to get himself to the point of exhaustion, the honest Jiujin pulled Tang Cheng out of the water from the river, and with a wooden pillar separated from the raft, Jiujin carried Tang Cheng, who escaped from death, to the other side smoothly.
The moment he fell into the river, Liu Goat threw off the flower mechanism he was carrying, and Liu Goat, who was only left with a shell gun and a few magazines, quickly grabbed a wooden basin floating down from the upstream. It was only a few minutes before he paddled the water with Tang Cheng to the opposite shore in nine catties, and Liu Goat, who was also lucky to survive, also went ashore with the wooden basin, but the three guys of the 87th Division had disappeared.
Jiangbei is the territory of the Fifth War Zone, where a large number of troops and refugees who have been evacuated from Nanjing in advance, in order to continue the attack of the whispering Japanese army, except for a few units that have obtained the possibility of returning to their original structure, the remaining soldiers who have crossed the river have all been taken over by the Fifth War Zone and redivided. Liu Goat's luck once again won the opportunity for the three of them to escape from death, and Liu Goat, who was extremely lucky, actually met Ma Han who also crossed the river with the help of wooden rafts in Jiangbei, so the second company of only three people was mixed with the guys of the teaching team again.
Ma Han retreated to Rujiangmen the day after Liu Shanyang and their departure from the Guanghuamen position, at that time Guanghuamen had been broken by the Japanese army several times, if it were not for the desperate resistance of the military police training regiment and the 156th Division, perhaps Guanghuamen would have been occupied by the Japanese army. The garrison headquarters ordered the garrison troops to retreat on their own from the headquarters of the teaching team, but the soldiers of the teaching team who were holding the Guanghua Gate did not know that their chief captain Gui Yongqing had already crossed the river to escape at this time, and after weighing the pros and cons, the regiment commander Xie Chengrui ordered the second regiment to retreat to the Jiangmen.
Liu Goat has always known that Xie Chengrui is wearing small shoes for him, but this is a characteristic of the national army, Liu Goat did not complain about Xie Chengrui because of this, but heard Ma Han say that when Xie Chengrui was trampled to death by the rebels in Rujiangmen, Liu Goat was still embarrassed for a while. It was only at this time that Liu Shanyang could be sure that the gunfire and shouting that he and Tang Cheng heard after they crossed the Rujiang Gate was to teach the Second Regiment and the 156th Division to break out in a melee with the 36th Division at Rujiangmen, and there were troops from the 88th Division.
As for the whereabouts of the 88th Division's troops crossing the river, Ma Han, a guy with only a dozen soldiers of the teaching team around him, didn't know, Liu Goat wanted to find the troops of the 88th Division crossing the river, but Tang Cheng would be injured and still in a coma, and Liu Goat, who was forced to helpless, had to first merge with Ma Han and slowly gather the soldiers of the teaching team in Jiangbei, and wait for Tang Cheng to wake up before making plans. Like the 88th Division, the Teaching Corps was also a descendant of the Nationalist Army directly under the command of Chiang Kai-shek, and after the main force of the Teaching Corps across the river retreated, the soldiers of the Teaching Corps scattered in the rout were also looking for their superiors like Mahan.
As night fell, more than 40 soldiers of the teaching team had gathered around Mahan, some of them were from the first regiment and some were from the second regiment, but there was not a single one from the 88th Division. "Go to Xuzhou, I've heard that Jiang's troops are all assembling in Xuzhou, and the troops of the Teaching Corps and the 88th Division may also go." Ma Han inquired about the news from the Fifth War Zone, and brought a Chinese medicine practitioner from the refugees, Liu Goat and Jiujin to carry Tang Cheng to join Ma Han and they moved towards Xuzhou.
Tang Cheng had been injured by the shrapnel of the bomb before falling into the river, and the shrapnel in the wound was soaked in the river before it was taken out, which was also the main reason why he was unconscious. "I don't care, if you can't save my people, then you can go with the funeral." Facing the killing intent in Liu Goat's eyes and the muzzle of the black hole, the Chinese medicine practitioner who was found by Jiujin cried and tried his best to diagnose and treat Tang Cheng, although Jiangbei is different from Nanjing City, there are so many hospitals, but this is the Guotong District, and it is more convenient to find medicines and materials here than Nanjing City.
When Tang Cheng changed his wet clothes, Tang Cheng's passport wrapped in layers of oiled paper was turned out by Liu Goat, and the gold bars that Tang Cheng had been sewing in the sandwich of his trouser belt were also found. Liu Goat, who had never read a book, naturally didn't know what the Lu Dao passport was, but he put Tang Cheng's passport and Xie Bo's diary together, as for the gold bar at the end of Tang Cheng, it was naturally used by Liu Goat, otherwise where did Liu Goat get the medicine and food.
Today is the second day after they left Jiangbei, and the man who was beaten by Liu Goat with a branch is called Han Dasheng, who is a simple farmer, and Liu Goat forced him to drive a car for them with a gun, and the ox cart under Liu Goat is Han Dasheng's only property. "Hey, I said you don't want to talk or you can't talk." Liu Goat's favorite thing to do in his spare time is to tease Han Dasheng, who bowed his head and was silent, "Didn't I say, as long as we get to the place, we will give you money by the day, even if we hire you and your ox cart, and not to rob your cattle, what are you afraid of." ”
Han Dasheng is a homeless owner, and the most dilapidated house in the whole village is his house, if he didn't have a buffalo and an ox cart, Liu Goat would not have entered his yard at all. Tang Cheng is still unconscious, and the Chinese medicine practitioner who was arrested by Jiujin is an old guy who is almost 50 years old, and he can't go the same way at all, Liu Goat will not let Han Dasheng leave no matter what, unless Tang Cheng can wake up now.
Of course, Han Dasheng didn't dare to fight Liu Goat face to face, these soldiers all carried guns, especially Liu Goat's body had several guns, Han Dasheng This is a cropper who grew up eating hundreds of meals, and he doesn't have the courage and theory of being a soldier. "This nephew of mine is much younger than you, but don't look at him small, there are no less than 20 devil soldiers who died in his hands just because I know the truth, if it weren't for the damn little devil, he would have sat in the school instead of lying on your ox cart." Turning around to look at the unconscious Tang Cheng, a trace of pity flashed in Liu Goat's eyes.
When he changed Tang Cheng's clothes, Jiujin was frightened by the scars on Tang Cheng's body, and Liu Goat couldn't believe it either. Although he knew that Tang Cheng had injuries on his body, he didn't expect that Tang Cheng had so many scars on his body that he couldn't believe it. When he first met Tang Cheng in Shanghai, this cunning guy was still a child, but in half a month, this former child had already dared to fight with the devil soldier face to face, and then listened to the old man surnamed Wu and Jiujin talk about the things that happened on the road, Liu Goat, the veteran soldier, couldn't help but praise Tang Cheng's courage in his heart.
It wasn't until Guanghuamen was breached by the Japanese army for the first time that Liu Goat was really afraid, because he didn't want Tang Cheng to lose his life in Nanjing City because of his selfishness, so he had to prepare in advance to save his life. This child-like Tang Cheng was left in Nanjing City because of his own selfishness, if it weren't for his own selfishness, Tang Cheng would have appeared on the streets of Chongqing, it is precisely because of this guilt that Liu Goat will ignore the crime of being willing to risk desertion, and evacuate Dongguang Huamen in advance with Tang Cheng and Jiujin.
It is precisely because of these things that Liu Goat did not tell the truth to Ma Han, and now he does not dare to go to the 88th Division or join the troops of the teaching team, because he and Tang Cheng and Jiujin are now all carrying the name of deserters, as long as someone wants to make a fuss about this matter, the day he joins the teaching team will be the day when he Liu Goat is imprisoned. As long as Tang Cheng can wake up, Liu Goat will immediately take Tang Cheng and Jiujin and leave quietly, and Liu Goat, who has a gun in his hand, will not worry about being hungry, so he will take Tang Cheng up the mountain to be a bandit.
